It's really down to the kernel to support the chipset, not the distro. If you can find out the chipset and also which kernel drivers support it, you may be able to recompile your kernel with support. Or, on the other hand, if it turns out that the support for your chipset is bad/buggy perhaps you could add some kind of generic support and remove the bad kernel modules.
It sounds like you have some research to do to get this mobo running. If you have never compiled a kernel before there is a sticky at the top of this forum that shows how. I would recommend doing a 'make xconfig' as it's easier to find what you are looking for than 'make menuconfig'.
